Previously, the complainants were asked to be impleaded as parties in his plea seeking a stay of the criminal proceedings. The Patna and Raipur chapters of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) lodged complaints in 2021 alleging Ramdev's remarks were likely to cause prejudice to Covid control mechanism and may dissuade people from availing proper treatment. Ramdev impleaded the Centre, Bihar, Chhattisgarh and IMA as parties. Dave earlier said his client made a statement in 2021 that he does not believe in allopathic medicines, to which some doctors took offence and lodged multiple cases against him. As an interim relief, Ramdev sought a stay on the investigation on the criminal complaints. The IMA lodged complaints in Bihar and Chhattisgarh overRamdev'sremarks against the use of allopathic medicines during the pandemic. The yoga guru was booked under various provisions of the IPC and the Disaster Management Act, 2005.
